St. Louis Construction Zone Crash Attorney
Construction Zone Crash Lawyer in Missouri - 866.840.3636
When driving through construction zones and carefully obeying the posted cautions and reduced speed limit, one expects that all will be well. Unfortunately, inattentive truck drivers may not notice changes in road conditions or decide to aggressively push through dangerous areas, resulting in deadly injury accidents. When you have been hit by a truck in a construction zone, it is crucial that you contact a St. Louis construction zone crash attorney. With the assistance of a personal injury attorney from the Schultz Legal Group, maximum compensation for your injuries will be sought aggressively.
Truck drivers are regularly issued traffic citations for “traveling too fast for conditions.” These conditions include reductions in posted speeds in construction zones. And remember, just because the speed limit says “55”, it does not necessary mean that a 26,000 pound truck should be traveling at 55 mph at that particular time. Truck drivers and the trucking companies that employ them must abide by the rules and regulations set forth by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. In addition, they must observe and obey the Missouri statutory “Rules of the Road” found in Section 304 of Missouri’s Revised Statutes.
A highway design and construction engineering expert is critical in assisting an attorney in any construction zone truck crash claim. Occasionally the road construction company itself may be partially culpable for the cause of the accident. Claims for defective road design will be dismissed from the courtroom unless your attorney uses experts in these fields of expertise to assist in explaining to the judge and jury how defective road design/construction contributed to the cause of the crash.

Dealing with insurance claims can be difficult, confusing and frustrating. The claim forms as well as the documentation of the accident itself and injuries may be required.

With the assistance of a personal injury lawyer from the Schultz Legal Group, the difficulty of dealing with the insurance company will be off your hands so that the injury victim can concentrate on healing physically, emotionally, and financially.
